What is wrong
Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 grand junction and 2011 voltage recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators.

The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Risk
The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
